Figures presented by :m Indianapolis bank show that of ."i.()iN).(XW children with no schooling ,T1 attain distinction. Of .wxkwhmi with elementary schooling the number to gain distinction is SOS, says Indianapolis News. Two million with a high school education show distinction gained by 1,245. Out of lOOO.lxX) who go through college, r,7(S become distinguished in some walk of life. Less than 1 per cent of the men In America are col lege bred, yet this small percentage has furnished 53 per cent of the Amer ican presidents, 54 per cent of the vice presidents, 02 per cent of the secretaries of state, 50 per cent of the sec retaries of treasury, 02 per cent of the attorneys general, 47 per rent of the speakers of the house, and ;. cent of the Supreme court Jui:-; With a college education the child has one chance in 173, with a high school education one chance in l.tJUd. with elementary schooling alone. one chance In 40.S41, and with no schooling one chance in 101,200. Lverv farmer Is under an oM.jratlon to his community. He should live acceptably and helpfully to his com munity. The community is what we make iL and if we do not assume the responsibility of citizenship that right fully belongs to us we are a drag on the community life. In a large city a man can live without any consciousness of his civic responsibilities, but in a farm community a man can not divorce himself from his share of community work. W'e know of some communities where some of the peo ple feel that the community welfare Is not on as high a plane today as It was 15 or 0 years ago, says Illinois Farmer, li that Is the case in our community we are at fault, and It Is up to us to become more active, more aggressive, in faet. In community wel fare work. If two men are in business together, cn never speaks of the business as bemg "my business." It Is 'our business." Each partner does a share of the labor and receives a share of the profit?. In every phase of th? partnership each one goes "fifty-fifty." Marrisge Is a partnership, yet it Is often looked on as an ownership. It 1 likely to be "our work," but "my money." Married life will be much happier when It is conducted on an equal basis. In 2,000 years humanity will revert . to the monkeys, from which It sprang. I fays A. Llnckewlcz. a noted professor j of Vienna. Looking around at the , foibles of present-day human beings and noting some of the "monkeyihlnes" in which they indulge, one b I prone to ask why the learned teacher Sots the date for th reversion &o far bead. After having heen sentenced in A New York court, a prisoner stepped coolly to the elevator, said "Going down," tepid In and nothing has teen seen of bun since. It seems there Is nothing quite so bandy as an elevator that Is going down for a fellow who has been sent up.

COftT.OF CARELESSNESS. Carelessness and selfishness ire clot akin because they beget the spirit of humtn conduct, best expressed In the antlment: "Everyone for himself and the devil take the hindmost," and "I am not my brother's keeper This selfish and Inhuman sentiment requires a stupendous

iicrlflee of life, limb end property as' well as an Incalculable amount of sufferlng and poverty following In Its wake. In the United States, la one year's time there hare been lust 50,000 Uvea, hare happened 2,000,000 iocalled accidents and & property loss amounting to over 1250,000,000. Most of this loss of life and limb and property was avoidable. It could. b reduced to the minimum, were It possible to Interest all our fellow men In safeguarding life and property along modern line?. Instead f letting the devil take the hindmost, let every man be his brother's keeper and so con duct himself that he endangers neither his own life or that of his fellow man In his dally task In the office, the shop, the street or wherever he may be, and not only look out for his two safety but look out for the ?afety of others, as u genuine man should. Education training is unknown to at least nine out of every ten persons In Great Britain after they have attained the age of fourteen years, Lord Ilaldane, former lord high chancellor, de clared In an nddress delivered recent ly In London. Study of tb Inequalities of education among the people of the country, he declared, revealed a "terrible stnte of things. In our democracy today there is burled a mass of unknown talent. Darwins, Stephensons and other geniuses lie buried then lecause there has been no means of stimulating their minds." If there wer more equality of education, he said, the relations between labor and capital would be much simpler than they are at the present time. Those Iteds who are deported from the United States for trying to over throw the government mlfht direct public attention to the far different procedure of tire Rusa i an dictators. Lenin shows his thoughtful consideratlon for critics bv either maintaining them at public expense la eftUury confinement or paying their funeral expenses after making a funeral expe dient. The announcement that Vienna, whose plight of misery and starvation Is appealing to the world's charity. Is to have carnival "bad boys' and "silly asses" balls, with tickets in clamorous demand, em phr. sizes the saying that "whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad." Such gayety at such ?t time Is like dancing on a volcano. Of all the army slogans and phrases tried out 'Let s gop seems to have best survived. It is short and snappy and fairly represents the impulsive and fearless cl.aructer of the average American soldier. "Where do we go from here?" was good, but "Let's go is better. The motion picture, like the speaking drama, scores its greatest successes with plays whose dmpllcity and purity of sentiment bring up no question whatever as to the need of censorship.

Ohl Mrs. Earthworm was just beginning to stretch herself, for she was hungry, hut thinking that it must bo rather early for the young Seedlings to be in condition for her to enjoy she turned over to take another nap. But the Seedlings w ere nearer ready than Mrs. Earthworm thought already their little legs and arms were reaching out and above to get to the light and old Mr. Root, who had weathered many a summer and winter, was warning them to ro careful. "The rirst thing yoti know you j awake your enemy, Mrs. Earthworm." he told them; "keep quiet and do not kick out with your little fibers or h will be upon you with her whole family and you never will see the light." Hut the Seedlings were young; this was their first season and they did not know Mrs. Earthworm, nor did they fear anything, for, of course, they did not know as much as old Mr. Hoot, so they paid no attention to his w ii mlng. If Mrs. Earthworm had not made her bed so close to that of the Seedlings it might not have happened, hut she did, and by and by the S 'edlings got so squirmy and readied out so far with their little f,'er legs and

if I haven't overslept; hen It is tin I was up and eating; come, come she called to her family: "get up. the Seedlings are almost ready to go out and there you are all sleeping." In a few minutes all of Mrs. Earthworm's family were nipping the legs and arms of the young Seedlings who now wcto really frightened and calling for help. Old Mr. Hoot could not help them; there was only one who could and that was Mr. Mole and Mr. Root knew where lie lived; It was not far from his home, and he managed to send him a wireless message telling him of the- poor Seedlings' troubles. Mr. Mole jumped out of bed and ran through his tunnel, for he had known alH,ut .1,, family of Mrs. Kar.., worm and intended to get them as soon as they awoke; but he, too, had overslept that morning. In a few minutes he was on the scene and- not many of th Earthworms escaped, for Mr. Mole Is quick and sure and" very fond of Earthworms. When the last of their enemies had disappeared the Seedlings thanked Mr. Mole and told him that they never would have had a chance to see the light If he had not come to their rescue. "That Is all right," replied Mr. Mole; "It was no trouble at all, and any time you see one of those fellows just call on me." "How did you know where to find him?" the Seedlings nsked Mr. Hoot, for they knew he had sent the message that brought help to them. Oh! I know all about his habits and lie makes his fortress near me, so all I had to do was to send him word ho was wanted," said Mr. Root; "you take my advice and don't let your legs and arms reach out so far; you are sure to tickle one of that Earthworm family and you see what happens when you do."
